Ghajnsielem beat Sannat
Lions 1-0 in the league opener for both these sides. Darren Azzopardi is

an empty net 30 minutes into the game. David Agius cleared off the line at
the other end. Champions Nadur Youngsters kicked off their league
commitments with a 3-0 victory over Qala St. Joseph. Earlier this week Qala St. Joseph beat Xaghra United 2-0

Blacks pay the penalty
September

Ghajnsielem missed a great
opportunity to contest the Independence Cup final when they could manage
no better than a 0-0 against a Qala St. J. team reduced to ten men from
the start of the second-half to the end of extra-time. Aaron Pendry had a
penalty shot saved, Brian Meilak struck the post and Franklee Galea was
desperately unlucky in front of goal with two shots that went wide of the
Qala goal. Qala scored four penalties to Ghajnsielem's two (scored by
Brian Meilak and Tarik Belhaj; Roderick Apap and Shannon Vassallo failed
to score) to book a cup final appearance against Nadur Youngsters who beat
Victoria Hotspurs 3-1 after extra-time.

Meilak double stuns
Kercem
September

Brian Meilak marked his
return to the Blacks' side with a pair of goals, to lead Ghajnsielem into
the semi-finals of the Independence Cup after a 2-1 win over Kercem Ajax.
Meilak's second goal, a left-footed curler from outside the penalty area,
arrived in the last minute of the match leaving no chance for Kercem to
fight back. Victor Agius picked up where he left off last year by
back-stopping this Blacks win with some fine saves, including one from a
penalty shot.
